eDNA QUANTIFICATION
Environmental DNA (eDNA) Quantification
At H2O Molecular, we specialize in the precise detection and quantification of DNA from environmental samples such as water, soil, and air. Utilizing the latest in molecular methods, our eDNA quantification services are essential for monitoring biodiversity, supporting conservation efforts, ensuring regulatory compliance, and detecting invasive species.
Why eDNA Quantification is Necessary
Environmental DNA captures the genetic makeup of organisms within an ecosystem. Through eDNA quantification, we provide:
- Biodiversity Monitoring: Insights into species diversity in habitats without disturbing the ecosystem, crucial for ecological research and management.
- Conservation Support: Monitoring of endangered species to aid in their protection and recovery.
- Regulatory Compliance: Assistance with environmental impact assessments, helping organizations meet legal requirements.
- Invasive Species Detection: Early detection of non-native species to prevent ecological damage.
Why Digital PCR is the Optimal Technology for eDNA Detection
Digital PCR provides unmatched precision in DNA quantification, making it superior for eDNA analysis due to:
- High Sensitivity and Specificity: Capable of detecting minimal DNA traces in vast environmental samples, ensuring accurate species identification.
- Quantitative Precision: Direct DNA copy quantification without the need for standard curves, enabling precise biomass assessments.
- Reduced Error and Bias: Effectively handles PCR inhibitors in environmental samples for more reliable results.
- High-Level Multiplexing: Enables the simultaneous detection of multiple targets in a single reaction, increasing throughput and reducing costs.
- Adaptability: Customizable to various environmental conditions and specific detection needs.
Our eDNA Quantification Services Include:
- Sample Collection Guidance: Expert advice on collecting and handling samples to maintain DNA integrity.
- Custom Assay Design: Tailored assays for targeted species detection, increasing accuracy.
- Data Analysis and Reporting: In-depth analysis and clear reporting for informed decision-making in environmental management and conservation.
